Polygon HT™ bearing is based on the same filament wound structure as the PolyLube MRP bearing and has the same wear liner. The result is that the HT bearing has a high static and dynamic load capacity. The HT bearing is also inherently self-lubricating through the same film transfer process as the MRP Series bearing. The result of a higher temperature resin matrix, the same high strength filament wound backing, and the same self-lubrication process combine to make the HT bearing an ideal solution for high temperature applications.The PolyLube®HT bearing is a high load, low RPM bearing designed for applications where self-lubrication is desired, but conventional composite bearings will not perform high temperatures. This product has been designed to provide excellent performance at elevated temperatures. With a glass transition temperature of over 260°C this epoxy filament wound structure exhibits superb performance over extended exposure to elevated temperatures. The bearing material is focused on applications where the bearing will be exposed to temperatures up to 260°C.

Benefits of Polygon High Temp
Providing structural support under high mechanical loads.
Composites offer significant weight savings compared to metals.
Composites can be molded into complex shapes, allowing for customized designs.
Many composite materials are resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for harsh environments.
Some high-temperature composite bushes incorporate self-lubricating materials or incorporate features for low friction and wear.
Some composite bushes can operate for extended periods without maintenance or lubrication
